Jimmy Johnson Blasts 'Problem' NFL Owner Live On FOX

Jimmy Johnson didn't hold back on an NFL owner on Sunday afternoon.

The legendary Dallas Cowboys head coach, who made the Hall of Fame with two Super Bowl wins, blasted Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper live on the air on Sunday afternoon. The Panthers had a tough week, benching former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Bryce Young, in favor of veteran quarterback Andy Dalton.

Johnson thinks Tepper is solely to blame.

“Why’s he had all these coordinators and head coaches? The owner of the Carolina Panthers, that’s the problem,” Johnson said. “He’s making the major decisions without listening to his football people. David Tepper, it’s his team [and] he can do whatever he wants to do but look at the people that’s left. He’s the one that wanted Bryce Young as the No. 1 pick and also lost Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, Brian Burns, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold.

“Look at coaches, Steve Wilks, Frank Reich, Matt Rhule. He has run them all off. He’s making the decisions. He has got to listen to his football people and quit playing fantasy football.”

The Panthers have been an absolute embarrassment for several seasons now. 

Is Tepper to blame?

It's tough to argue that he's not.
